Military in Okinawa - Worth buying?

[Tyler Warner]

Hello Bigger Pockets! I'm active duty Army stationed in Okinawa with 6 months remaining on island. I have about $50,000 liquid and have been planning on buying a small multi at my next duty station, which will be in the US. I have never purchased property before. I have listened to about half of the BP podcasts and have read 10+ business/real estate books, so I feel that maybe I am ready to begin. After reading some post about other military members buying overseas, I realized that maybe now is the time to jump into my first BRRRR property and not just wait 6 months. Is this something that I should do or should I just wait until I get back to the U.S. to start my REI adventure? Can't wait to hear back from you guys!
